    Im just getting started with corals, anemones, etc. I bought this from my LFS yesterday and I was so enthralled by the beauty of this, I forgot to ask the most important question ...WHAT IS IT CALLED? It glows an amazing neon yellow/green under lights (contrary to the pic I posted). I know its a carpet ...(anemone, coral, shroom?) PS- I did get detailed care instructions!

    Contrary to everyone else so far, I think it is a capet anemone. What were the detailed instructions?
